  1. Just finished the epic Don Quixote, the Edith Grossman translation. Very entertaining and readable. After a month of being immersed in tales of knights errant I will miss the company of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire Sancho Panza.

  2. Wonderfully written #Obituary on translator Edith Grossman, 1936-2023

    “Gabriel García Márquez’s previous work had been translated by the brilliant Gregory Rabassa; but in the mid-1980s, Grossman was offered the job of recreating his latest. This translation was Love in the Time of Cholera (1988), and #Grossman would remain #GarcíaMárquez’s translator till his death 26 years later.
